 * I am trying to setup a child theme, and when I do I lose my menus. Switching 
   back to customizr and the menus come back. This is what I did:
 * –Created a new directory in the themes directory named “customizr-dbsa-sc”.
    –
   created a style.css it that directory. – add this content
 * ——–between the lines——–
    /* Theme Name: customizr for DBSA Sno CO Description:
   customizr Child Theme for DBSA Sno CO Author: Stephen Magladry Template: customizr
   Version: 1.0.0 */
 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../customizr/style.
   css”);
 * /* =Theme customization starts here
    ————————————————————– */
 * ——–between the lines——–
 * -save
 * A quick check, everything appears right but the menus.
 * Did I do something wrong?

 * First, please remove the [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   line. Customizr auto-loads the parent style.css and you’re only loading it twice,
   which will slow the browsing down, having a duplicate on all CSS.
 * For your problem, you need to go to Dashboard > Appearance > Menus and assign
   an existing menu to the default menu location. If you don’t have any saved menus,
   you’ll need to create one.
 * Also, for future comments, please enclose your code between two lines (one at
   start and one at end) containing a single backtick (`) each, and it will display
   properly.
